OK, so your odds of winning that super Mega Millions Jackpot are 1 in 176 million, right? Here’s a Lotto Ticket I just made using an index card and some crayons. It has about the same chance of winning as tickets that people pay for.

Think of it this way: if each of those chances were $1 bills, and they were laid end-to-end, the winning bill would be somewhere along the seventeen thousand miles of bills. You can work it out from there.
